How To Kill Salmnala

3
Consume only pasteurized dairy products. The pasteurization process uses high heat to kill bacteria in milk and milk products.

4
Kill salmonella on your hands by washing them with an antibacterial soap, especially if you are handling raw food items, animal feces or reptiles. Avoid touching other foods until you wash your hands in order to prevent cross contamination

New Research Needed

We need to research ways that chicken can be decontaminated.

We need to know how to kill two specific types of bacteria: Campylobacter and Salmonella.

You guys might want to read these USDA site pages:

Research on Chickens

Research
Chickens can get contaminated by..........
Hatchery- some chicks can be contaminated when they hatch because their mothers are contaminated with salmonella while others ingest bacteria from their surroundings.
Chicken House- chicken habitually, ingesting bacteria from litter and feces, and could be exposed to vermin.
On the road- as chickens travel to the processing plant, filth can be spread.
Processing Plant
Scalding- as the hot water loosens the feathers and they float away, bacteria can spread cause some bacteria can be on the feathers.
Defeathering- as the feathers are being plucked by hand bacteria can spread.
In the store- improper temperature or handling can indroduce bacteria or cause the to multiply.
When you eat contaminated chicken.........
You may experience diarrhea, fever, and headache.
You may be getting sicker and sicker per day.
After the doctor prescribes you antibiotics, you may feel better for a day, but then you get the symptoms back.
Some ways chicken can be decontaminated are..........
Cook chicken to at least 165o Farenheit.
Store in the refrigerator at 40o Farenheit or below otherwise freeze it.
If you wash anything in contact of raw chicken, it will greatly reduce risks of contamination.
The two most contaminatants of chicken are..........
Salmonella
Campylobacter

Chicken Paragraph

According to ConsumerReports.org, 3.4 Million people get sick from eating contaminated chicken, 25,500 go to the hospital, and 500 die every year. Also, in a survey of over 382 chickens, Campylobacter was in 62 percent, Salmonella in 14 percent, and both Campylobacter and Salmonella were in 9 percent of the 382 chickens tested in the survey. Tyson and Foster farms had the most contaminated birds while Perdue had the cleanest chickens.

chicken paragraph

According to consumer reports 2/3 whole store bought chickens have salmonella or campylobacter or even both. These diseases infect 3,400,000 people, send 25,000 to the doctor, and kill 500 people every year. According to CDC 20 percent of salmonella cases and 55 percent of campylobacter cases are resistant to at least one antibiotic.
Here are some ways that chicken gets contaminated.
Hatchery- pecking at contaminated feces
Store- improper temperature
Plant- scalding in contaminated water

Chicken Contamination

Germbusters, Here are the questions you decided to answer / research at the meeting. Remember to post answers that you find to the blog. Happy searching!

• How does chicken get contaminated?


• What happens when a person eats contaminated chicken?


• What are some ways that chicken can be decontaminated?


• What are the 2 most common contaminants of chicken? (Further research on those specific contaminants: How are they removed? What do they respond to? What makes them grow or become worse? What problems do they cause?)

Also, remember to think about "chicken" field trip ideas that can help further the teams research. We will choose our logo / t-shirt design at the next meeting so post or bring any new ideas with you. Mrs. Beth

I dont feel good so i cant make the lego robotics meeting on 4/12/2011

How dose Chicken get Bad AKA Contimated? Hmm.

Here are how chicken can get comtimnated.

One is obvisouly is, what they can eat. If they get sick they can spread it. Then,when they lay their eggs, it can be bad. OR, once they are getting ready to be shipped they aren't in good condiation from what they ate.Another one is, if they are not treated,or feeded correctly. Id they aren't treated correctly, they might get dis-streesed,and get sick.Another one is,if when the chicken is at a factory,and itsn't Puaturized correcly.

Finally,another one is if the egg the Chicken laid is bad to eat. From all the germs where the eggs are poorly treated. Like with chickens. So,this is how chicken can get contimated.

Here is my t-shirt idea. The germ is from www.openclipart.org and is public domain (not copyrighted).

Team Logo Suggestion

Here's one idea for a logo to go with the name "Germbusters".  Remember to try and sketch your logo ideas before the team meeting on Tuesday.  Tuesday night we will decide upon a team name and logo for the season.

Chicken Contamination

Contaminated Chicken

On an article on www.consumerreports.org I found an article named Consumer Reports magazine: January 2010 which gave me details about how to be cautious about chicken contamination. Here part of this article:

Lax rules, risky food

Chicken is one of the few foods on Americans' grocery lists that is routinely contaminated with disease-causing bacteria. Thorough cooking makes it safe, but it's easy to slip up by undercooking or by exposing other food to raw chicken juices. And it's impossible to know whether a restaurant has taken all proper precautions.

Those steps are critical to avoiding illness. Consumer Reports' latest tests found contamination in 66 percent of chicken from more than 100 stores.

Chicken Contamination

Chicken Contamination I read that on consumerreports.org that 62 percent of chickens had campylobactor, 14 percent had salmonella, and 9 percent had both. Perdue chickens had 56 percent totally clean. 3.4 million people get infected from chickens, 250,500 go to the hospital and 500 die each year. I think that we should research chicken because it poses a greater problem than dairy. --Kyle

Paragraph

Andrew’s paragraph

If you cook a chicken at 160 degrees it will less dangerous even if it has salmonella. Two Thirds of store bought chickens have Salmonella, Campylobacter, or both. Organic chickens are cleaner. They mist cold-water instead of dunking them in cold-water bath with some more chickens. According to NPR.org ( a consumer reports article.)
